Unable to run OFS through Snap

[NodudeWasTaken]

Hello Gagax!

I am running manjaro linux with an nvidia gpu, and am having severe issues running OFS. When running OFS it for some reason finds no video devices? Then if i bypass that, it cannot find the mpv library? My current install runs through snap, but i did try manually compiling it, which didnt fix the missing video device.

@NodudeWasTaken I can run OFS compiled from source without problem on my manjaro test system with nvida gpu. I don't have problems with missing video device here. But i can confirm the problems with the snap pack. I get the same errors. When you compile form source make sure you open the compiled binary and not the snap.

I havn't tested the snap in a while. I'm going to get rid of it and will replace it with an AppImage instead. Yesterday I managed to create an AppImage on fedora and run it on a clean installation ubuntu without having mpv on the system. I just have to automate the process via github actions.

After a quick test i can verify that @michael-mueller-git was right in that i accidentally launched the snap version instead of the compiled one. The compiled version works perfectly, my only grievance was that i had to make a .desktop file myself. I could close this issue now, but the snap version is still broken, so im leaving it up to you @OpenFunscripter

I added an AppImage to the current tagged release. Can you run this on your system? Make sure to chmod +x *.AppImage first. I stopped trying to include a version of mpv in the AppImage itself as it was causing too many problems. So the AppImage will just load the libmpv.so.1 installed on your system. I think this is better than the snap but it requires the user to install libmpv via their package manager. https://github.com/OpenFunscripter/OFS/releases/tag/1.4.2

The AppImage works for me (operating system: arch linux).

[NodudeWasTaken]

I can run the AppImage :smile: (operating system: manjaro)

I guess that way everybody gets to use the version of mpv which ships with their distro. I'm going to stop adding the snap packages then since they never worked perfectly.
